Dear Comrades,

DEMAND OF PROMOTION OF SENIOR ACCOUNTANTS AS AAOs AGAINST 10% POSTS OF AAOs: 

REGISTER YOUR CLAIM BY REPRESENTING TO THE AUTHORITIES

You are aware that, due to our persistent struggle, the Controller General of Accounts had amended the Recruitment Rules of erstwhile JAO/AAOs cadre in 2000 and reserved 10 percent posts in the cadre of JAO for promotion of Senior Accountants on seniority basis.

After implementation of 6CPC the  office of the Controller General of Accounts vide para 2 of the O.M. No:-A-60015/1/2008/MF.CGA (A)/NGE/Pay Com/29 dated 2^nd June 2009 had re-designated JAO-AAO as AAO and took the decision of granting promotion to Senior Accountants as AAOs against 10% posts of AAOs. But after November, 2014 the office of the Controller General of Accounts had discontinued promotion to Senior Accountants as AAOs under 10% promotion quota on the plea that DOPT had raised objection.

When we raised our objection to the stand of Controller General of Accounts and demanded for continuation of promotion of Senior Accountants through organizational actions, the office of the Controller General of Accounts Office vide its letter dated 15.10.2015 had assured us that, in order to ensure that career prospects of the Senior Accountants (who are basically retiring in the cadre in which they are being recruited) are not stalled, it shall create the posts of Supervisor (Accountants) and at the time of amending the Recruitment Rules for AAOs, the RR for Supervisor (Accountants) shall also be adopted and notified along with the RRs of AAOs.

But, no action by the Controller General of Accounts was taken within last three years. Though the office of Controller General of Accounts has been processing for the amendments in the RRs of AAO but it has not taken any step to frame the Recruitment Rule of Supervisor (Accounts).

Due to our persistent persuasion, the Controller General of Accounts had agreed to grant adhoc promotion to all eligible Senior Accountant and a fresh order in this respect was issued by the office of the Controller General of Accounts on 30^th December, 2016. But, this order has not been implemented in its true spirit and in violation of all rules, the office of the Controller General of Accounts is refusing promotions to many of the Senior Accountants on the ground that they are retiring within less than three months service while entire problem is a byproduct of the mishandling of the requests or recommendations for adhoc promotions and delayed processing of those by the Heads of Departments.

In February 2017,   it was attempted by the then Controller General of Accounts to fill up 643 vacant posts of AAOs on deputation basis instead of granting promotions to eligible employees of Civil Accounts Organsiation and all requests of the Association in this respect was discarded by the said Controller General of Accounts and her team of officers. However, by resorting to continuous demonstration and two days hunger strike on 27^th & 28^th February, 2017 we could be able to compel the Controller General of Accounts to retreat from the approach of bringing persons on deputation.

In the meeting between the official side of the office of Controller General of Accounts and the National Executive of All India Civil Accounts Employees Association held on 16^th August, 2018, both the issues of granting promotion under 10% promotional quota and adhoc appointment to  Senior Accountants as AAOs were discussed. But, there was not much headway in this regard. Moreover, the minutes of the meeting has not also been finalized by the official side so far.

In view of the huge financial loss and social degradation of  Senior Accountants for last three years, the Central Headquarters of All India Civil Accounts Employees Association has issued a letter vide No:- AICAEA/HQ/A-2/2018/406-407 dated 10.09.2018 to the Controller General of Accounts demanding the following-

1.      Since neither the Recruitment Rules, 2000 for Junior Accounts Officers and Asstt. Accounts Officers has been amended nor the Recruitment Rules for Supervisor (Accounts) has been framed for last three years and the Senior Accountants eligible for promotions as Assistant Accounts Officers under 10% promotion quota as par the provisions of the Junior Accounts Officers and Asstt. Accounts Officers Recruitment Rules, 2000 were not granted promotion as Assistant Accounts Officers despite existence of vacancies under the specified promotion quota, all of them may be granted promotion as Assistant Accounts Officers immediately.

2.      The process of granting promotion to Senior Accountants as Assistant Accounts Officers under the 10% promotion quota may be continued till the Recruitment Rules for Supervisor (Accounts) is framed and implemented so that the promotions of the Senior Accountants are not stalled abruptly.

It has further been decided that,

1.     All Senior Accountants who have not been granted promotion as AAOs under 10% promotion quota despite being eligible shall submit individual representations to the Controller General of Accounts through proper channel and  endorse the copies of their representations to Central Headquarters of All India Civil Accounts Employees Association through their respective Units and Branches.

2.     The copies of representations should reach to central headquarters of AICAEA within 25^th September 2018.

3.     If the authorities do not respond, we shall have to go for the legal course of action.

The draft of the representation is annexed to this Circular. It should be neatly typed and then submitted to the authorities with proper signature etc. and advance copy should also be sent to CGA.

All Branches and Units are requested to give wide publicity of this Circular among the members and guide them for processing their representations.

With warm greetings,

(V. Bhattacharjee)

Secretary General
